JOSEPH SUTTER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO JOSHUA R. JONES, OF SAME PLACE.

PHOTOGRAPH-ALBUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,044, dated October 21, 1890.

Application filed January 7, 1890.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JOSEPH SUTTEE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Photograph-Albums, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a photograph-album having a base supporting the same and areceptacle in said base for extra pictures, &c.

Figure 1 represents a vertical section of a photograph-album embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the same on a reduced scale.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a photograph-album, which, excepting the features of my invention applied thereto, is of usual construction.

13 designates a base, which is hollow or partly hollow, forming the chamber 0, the top of which is closed by the lid D, which is hinged to the body of the base and has the album secured to it, said album thus being supported in vertical position on the base, and furthermore held thereon by the prop or brace E.

The lid and base are provided with catches F, which may be disengaged or released by means of a push pin or button G; but to such catches I do not limit myself, as any suitable Serial No. 336,140. (N0 model.)

upright or vertical position, the chamber is closed and thereby concealed, the lid and body of the base then nicely supporting the album after the manner of an easel, while it is permitted to be opened as usual.

Having thus described my invention, What A I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A chambered base with a hinged lid, combined with a photograph-album having its one side secured to said lid and normally supported thereby, substantially as described.

2. A chambered base with a hinged lid, combined with a photographic album having its one end secured to said hinged lid and normally supported thereby in an upright or substantially vertical position, substantially as set forth.

3. A horizontal chambered base having a hinged lid or cover, combined with an album secured at its lower end to said lid or cover and a brace connecting the album and lid or cover, substantially as described.

JOSEPH SUTTER.
